Diogo Jota's widow posts tribute one month on from wedding
The father-of-three, who married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso 11 days before the accident, died alongside his brother, Andre Silva, after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in Zamora in the early hours of July 3.
On Tuesday, Jota's wife shared three pictures of the two of them at their wedding, and wrote: 'One month of our 'until death do us part'. For ever, your white girl.'
A spokesperson for the Guardia Civil of Zamora told the PA news agency earlier this month that tests being carried out by its traffic division showed Jota was driving the car at the time of the accident.

The spokesperson added that the car was thought to be travelling above the speed limit on the road, which local media report is 120kmph (74mph).
Pictures of the aftermath of the crash showed debris scattered along the side of the road including what appeared to be charred parts of the vehicle.
Footballers, family and fans gathered for the funeral of the brothers which took place in their native Portugal on July 5.

Hydrofoil Surfer Chomped by 8-Foot Shark in Canary Islands
On Sunday, a UK man was downwind hydrofoil surfing off the coast of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, when a suspected 8-foot mako shark attacked his board and leg. The wounds were described as 'deep,' although the unidentified victim is expected to recover. Two large bite wounds above the man's knee can be seen in reports from the attack. Initially, the shark chomped the board, leaving noticeable gnaw marks, then it went for the flesh. Even though the man was out in open waters, in the Los Molinos area of the island, he was able to escape the shark following the attack, and make it safely to shore. From there, he was treated by emergency services. Although shark attacks are rare in the Spanish archipelago, which sits off the coast of northwestern Africa, they have happened in the past. Sadly, last year, a 31-year-old German woman died in the waters near the Canaries when she was attacked by a shark. The woman had been traveling via catamaran, then she decided to take a dip alongside the boat. A shark attacked her, ripped off her leg, and she reportedly suffered a heart attack. She was airlifted to a hospital on Gran Canaria, where she was pronounced Canary Islands have long been a rogue and rustic destination for surfers, particularly those in Europe, due to the proximity. With heaving slabs wide open to Atlantic Ocean swells, they have often been called Europe's equivalent to Hawaii. As for the shark in this rare attack in the Canaries, according to NOAA: 'Shortfin mako sharks are aggressive predators that feed near the top of the food web on marine fishes such as bluefish, swordfish, tuna, marine mammals, and other sharks.'Hydrofoil Surfer Chomped by 8-Foot Shark in Canary Islands first appeared on Surfer on Jul 23, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword
